50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says

Tax cuts for the wealthy didn't boost the economies of the U.S. and 17 other countries — but they did worsen income inequality.

James Earl "Jimmy" Carter was born 99 years ago on this date, 1 October 1924.

He is both the longest-lived and longest post-term-surviving U.S. President.

Also amongst the more underappreciated, though that sentiment seems to have been shifting.

And by all accounts I'm aware of, a stunningly decent human being.

Thank you and happy birthday.
